Polish expat, in the UK more than half my life (OMG). Wales is home now. Found my little place. Views my own, no matter what the million sheep across the road say (no, really, there are millions of them out there!). OK, the dog may have the odd view…

I’ll read this with interest. I find any mention of banning or destroying books so strange and sad. Language, stories, passing down knowledge and history is what makes us human, unique. Why on earth would you want to destroy our greatest talent? Don’t read, fine, but don’t deprive others.
And why would you need to burn books for a quiet, tech-free life?
Don’t forget the Lego room.
He just keeps showing the military that he despises them time and time again.
If I had shit loads of money and a big multi storey house I’d have a giant marble run installed. That’s the craziest I would get. Oh, and a huge Lego room. That’s it.
Same here!
Alf’s gone bald!
Can you make garlic bread with it though? I rest my case.
Do we have a reason for this war? Or will those also be the thing for the world to understand? Well, babe, you have ended 15 wars since you took the presidency (22 if you count pre-wars), you’re entitled to mix it up a bit.
Is that a Q on his left hand? Is he going to reveal that he’s Q. And I don’t mean the Star Trek one. And then what? Rapture? Can it wait until I finish my book? I’m really enjoying it but still have about 700 pages left.
What. A. Scoop. Wow.
But it really is down to what you buy. If you buy crap, you eat crap. It’s astonishing to me that someone can look at the abundance of choice we have these days, and still find something to complain about. Especially in such a blatantly disingenuous manner as that Pearson bint above.
When I was growing up, all bread was based on sourdough. Only rolls and baguettes were made with yeast. And lots of sweet bakes. And that’s 70s and 80s Poland. Not centuries ago. I still recall people who visited the UK complaining about crap plastic white bread (the sliced kind).
Sourdough? Bread?!
@sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social @quietriotpod.bsky.social Hey, my favourite wokey-dokey people! How’s about bread being woke these days?
🚨BREAKING: Bread is now woke, according to Alex Phillips
He’s going to raise millions from these stupid fuckers, isn’t he? Btw, are his assassination attempts growing in number like the wars he stopped? TWO attempts now?
OMG! He called Kennedy an expert! Kennedy just said listening to experts is a feature of religion, not democracy.
Of course the Queen was Remain. You don’t sustain a hereditary monarchy by randomly pulling pins out of grenades for the lols at the urging of a cluster of snake oil chancers.
Very good. It’s best to have a proper plan ahead of the time.
Do you think RFK Jr just doesn’t know what the word ‘expert’ means? I thought Trump was an ‘expert’ at twisting reality but this one is another level.
nobody has seen the president in three days [burping and rubbing my president shaped tummy] that’s crazy
Vance can’t have gone that far. Can he?
At least I hope that before he goes he really REALLY knows that he shares a top spot for the most hated, reviled and despised man in the world, with only two other people. Maybe four, tops.
Was this uttered as an observation or a complaint?
It’s been time for decades now.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Ask for the tape to be put on lengthwise, not across.
They’re fast running out of Fox presenters, surely.
Not only America, unfortunately.
We live in socialism for the wealthy with harsh austerity for everyone else. Privatise the profits, socialise the losses. The only solution is a working class revolution. Eat the rich asap obvsly 💪 #antifascist #antibillionaire #classconsciousness #anticapitalism
Don’t look away
Yes, I know. So disappointing to see the BBC fall for this crap. All other stuff is like morbid curiosity. Like watching some grisly traffic accident and not being able to look away. With added horror of possible real consequences for those who watch.
Heavens galore! I got it in four
This is good advice and something I need to work on. Routine of alarm off, BBC, Bluesky is not working for me.
Alone in prison. Having gone through due process to find him guilty. Having lost everything and everyone. Finally, having seen his name only used as a most dire warning for future generations in business, politics, relationships, education and life generally.
How can I get an invite to a Sainsbury’s Board meeting to represent Tesco? As an employee of Subway.
Wait, what? Testify in Congress? Who the frik made him the representative of the country? Am I having a crazy dream? What the hell is going on?!!
And two too many children by the looks of it.
Jesus Christ. This is not normal. Mention of guns in a constitution is not normal.
That’s a very funny idea. Hope it doesn’t spread (4x13 year olds left at home today while we’re at work, maybe I’ll cut wi-fi before I leave).
I have a black labrador. He would look nice as a Shaun the Sheep. You’ve given me ideas.
Yep, watching kids having a go is fab. I regret not taking a picture of the glitter sheep. When you say costume do you mean people dressed in costume? Sheep costume? Or sheep dressed as cows?
And the wool colours on them! There are no buff yellow sheep out in fields. Two tier sheep, for sure. My personal favourite was at a much smaller show, a glitter-covered young handler girl showing a glitter-covered sheep. That’s more like it!
And it’s not just American children. American gun violence can affect anyone, anytime, anywhere. I’m very sorry this has happened. And I struggle every time I read another story like this, to understand how a whole country allows this to continue to happen. I hope your family stays safe and well.
I observed sheep getting ready for a major show. Manicure, pedicure, facial, horn buff (steady), about a dozen other procedures that I don’t even know names for in human equivalent. Was fun. Though the sheep didn’t look like you’d let them out onto a mountain with all that makeup!
It should be. I live in mid Wales. I’ll ask around.

I absolutely love the FEARLESS Dr. Peter Hotez!!!!!
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
"Flag on Devon roundabout updates with rainbow and peace symbol" Would be terrible if this sort of thing were to start happening. ~AA www.devonlive.com/news/devon-n...
Oh god, forgot about this one at my girls’ school!
This argument is an Absolute Cinema... 👀😅🤣 #cat #catday #bluesky #animals
Yeah, I would have serious concerns about Margot Robbie in this instance.
Lots of good answers. For my part, I feel so incredibly sad. Disappointed. Fearful even. My adopted country with which I felt a deep affinity nearly from the start 30 years ago is taking a dangerous path. My home country (Poland) seems on a brink of similar path. Old roots fraying, new roots unsure
I’m not sure this isn’t a level up. I don’t know. Do they have cabinet meetings like this in North Korea, with press present?
I’ve turned myself inside out with the mega-cringe. And I had it on mute.
Wow. Do they actually give updates on their work? I got the impression it was all telling the Orange Mussolini how handsome and clever he is.
With this TRUTH I thee govern.
78% Ukraińców w PL pracuje. Do tej grupy zaliczają się także osoby, które przyjechały do Polski przed 2022 - spośród nich pracę ma 93% Co nam mówią te statystyki? Że nie pracują ci, co nie mogą, np. osoby starsze, opiekujące się dziećmi i/lub swoimi starszymi członkami rodziny, wielodzietne kobiety.
I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up. Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.
I can confirm. Where do I send my ‘disappointed’ photograph?
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
Just looked up the actor guy. I’m sure there’ll be state-wide panic and mourning at the loss.
Imagine separating people walking and cycling from people in their cars by some disgusting intrusive lines right through the tranquility of the tarmac!
How do road markings destroy your sense of peace and calm?? You must be seriously fucked up if this is your measure of peace and calm.
I think other people are embarrassed for him. I don’t believe he’s familiar with that emotion.
Indeed. But if we all think collectively, maybe...
Thomas Deininger uses plastic waste to create sculptures,or should I say,works of Genius!!!!!!
Never a frown. Well, maybe a little frown.
It’s a brilliant episode. But doesn’t exactly leave one filled with hope. I’m really enjoying your article (am half way through). I could never bring myself to read anything he writes, always strikes me as unhinged.
Very interesting. How ironic though that the architect of Leave campaign built on lies and distortions of what the reality of the EU is, now seems to be concerned with the breakdown of the sense of reality in society at large.
A war is not a party if Trump can’t be there.
I know exactly what you mean. I struggle a lot, the more I read the more horrified and scared and angry I feel. And I can’t stop reading either. I thought leaving Twitter would solve things but it’s not Twitter, it’s frikking world that’s the problem!
Farage has now said very clearly he will remove judges he does not approve of and abolish UK citizens' human rights. No-one at the BBC, Sky or ITV - or inside the government - seems to think it is worth highlighting. This is exactly what sleepwalking towards autocracy looks like.
Have you checked your moustache and front of jumper for crumbs?
Oh my god, Otto. Make them stop.
Where’s your bottle of red? You need to stay hydrated.
I guess the Vietnam one has a special place in his mind, what with being so cruelly prevented from going.
I had a war going on in my recycling bin. I don’t know if I’d still be here to tell the story if it weren’t for Trump, god love him.
And if we can’t find one, well, we’ll see.
I often wonder the same
I’m sure the people in Gaza are really concerned that correct language and definitions are used in discussions about what is being done to them.
Przykre.
🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers. Not just in fleeing persecution abroad. Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores. But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.
Maybe letting people post all their opinions was a mistake.
I was saying exactly that earlier. There’s no shame, embarrassment about being ignorant or devious anymore. No shunning by society, no consequences. The age of ‘my facts’ are equal to ‘facts’ doesn’t seem to spell anything good for the future.
What’s BigBalls up to these days? Apart from getting beaten up? A whizz like him will have it sorted in a half dozen mouse clicks.
Once more for the dimwits at the back: a) Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty. b) She was convicted under legislation introduced under Thatcher. c) She was sentenced under guidance brought in under Boris Johnson. d) fuck off.
I can’t believe that they have the VP on telly talking to people so that everyone can hear to criticise Newsom’s office awesome trolling. And he’s saying don’t be a crazy person.
The level of self awareness of a Fox TV commentator complaining about Gavin Newsome being childish…
😂
Well, he’s an expat now. Integrating and whatnot.
And where is it leading
What’s a ‘low IQ behaviour’? Apart from the obvious one displayed by Carswell?
I don't know about you but I've had about enough of mainstream media & politicians legitimising racist anti-asylum protests that terrorise refugees & communities. I had to push back hard, TWICE on BBC yesterday about supposed "legitimate concerns" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtkA...
